			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I took the first part of my Berlitz Spanish examination today.  It was the written portion.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the format of the test left much to be desired.</p>
<p>Ex. 1)</p>
<p class="Section1">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12px;" lang="ES-MX">El necesita &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; leer esta novela</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12px;" lang="ES-MX"><span>                                    </span>a.<span>  </span>a<br />

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12px;" lang="ES-MX"> </span></p>
<p>  Instead of offering the option &#8220;dejar como es&#8221; or &#8220;leave as is&#8221;&#8211;Berlitz decided the give us the option of <span style="font-style:italic;">ellipses</span> to complete the sentence&#8230;</p>
<p>Ex. 2)</p>
<p class="Section1">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in;text-indent:-.25in;"><span style="font-size:12px;" lang="ES-MX"><span> </span>10.<span>  </span>Tienen que &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; esta regla.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12px;" lang="ES-MX"> </span><span lang="ES-MX"></span><span style="font-size:12px;" lang="ES-MX"><span>                       </span></span>a.<span>  </span>lean</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.25in;text-indent:-1.25in;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span>                        </span>b.<span>  </span>sepan</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.25in;text-indent:-1.25in;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span>                        </span>c.<span>  </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;" lang="ES-MX">teneis</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.25in;text-indent:-1.25in;"><span style="font-size:12px;" lang="ES-MX"><span>                        </span><strong>d.<span>  </span>terminar</strong></span></p>
<p>This is translated as: &#8220;They have to&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;this rule&#8221;</p>
<p>options:<br />
a. that they read<br />
b. that they know<br />
c. you all have (Spain and pockets of S. America)<br />
d. end</p>
<p>I chose <span style="font-weight:bold;">d.</span>, to end this rule, because it was the only one that made even a little bit of sense.</p>
<p>You would think that they would come up with better grammar comprehension questions than this for $150.00</p>
<p>There were several typos which impeded the whole process, which was timed.<br />
I have to call back and schedule a time for my oral exam.</p>
